"This was a tough read, however it was certainly worth it. I really enjoyed Webers critique of the "materialist conception of history" and look at the importance of culture and "spirit." Very good read indeed."
"A sociological classic. A must read for anyone wanting to understand the emergence of sociology and how religious values can impact an economic system."
"This is perhaps one of the most quoted and most famous works of social science. Unfortunately, it can be tedious and dense to read as Weber traces the development of the spirit of capitalism from the protestant understanding of work and labour. He spends quite a bit of time explaining the different religious sects of Protestantism, setting up his question and justifying his conclusions. His most compelling chapter is the final one, entitled, "Asceticism and the Spirit of Capitalism", which traces the transformation of the protestant work ethic into its modern secular instantiation."
